Does this ever happen to you?  You have a group of friends who all eat at restaurants together on a regular basis.  You all divide up the check according to your individual orders, and pitch in a little extra for tax and tip.  Yet you always seem to come up a few dollars short.  Invariably, there is one guy who never pulls his weight.  You give him all stern looks.  You even do your impression of Reservoir Dogs, “Cough up a buck, you cheap bastard!”  Nothing seems to work.  Could this be the end of a friendship?  Over a few dollars once a week?  Not if Ilium has anything to say about it. 

Yes, that’s right, I said Ilium.  The same folks who keep your life organized with their fantastic eWallet and ListPro; and also keep you in the know with Newsbreak, have released an update to their FREE Tipster program.  What is Tipster?

Tipster is a tip and sales tax calculator.  It quickly cleans up those messy calculations which used to require pens, used napkins and fingers.  It will help you divide up the bill depending upon the number of people.  Figure out the tip and tax, and figure our each person’s portion of the tip and tax.  So, now more short changing on the tip.  The new version 2.1 will work with Windows Mobile 2003SE, Windows Mobile 5, and Windows Mobile 6, as well as Smartphone, and Palm OS 4.0 or higher.  Best of all, it is absolutely FREE!  Thanks, Ilium, for saving my friends.
